Mr. B. F. Blodget, who lives near
town, tells us of an incident that sjwils
the old adage, "Birds of a feather ilock
together." One of his domestic fowls
and a Mongolian pheasant are laying
in the same nest. He is expecting" am
icable relations to continue between
these two fowl until the incubating
process begins, when, as in the past,
the Chinaman must go. Mr. Blodgett
informs us that the pheasant is a very
prolific bird, rearing two and some
times three broods during the breeding
season. After the first brood is hatched
the cock takes charge of them and the
hen continues layiug and bringing
forth another brood.
On the subscription list of every
newspaper may be found occasionally
the name of a subscrilier dishonest
enough to hope, and silly enough to
think that when his indebtedness tn
the paper has become large, all he has
to do is to just send a copy back with
the word "Refused" written thereon.
But the paper .-still goes to his address
according to good American law, and
not until! an attorney comes arouid to
collect that little debt at the expense
of the dishonest fool docs he discover
I hat his artfulness was merely amusing.
Then he sees where the laugh comes in,
but he don't get any of it. It isn't the
silly rogue's turn to laugh, aud besides
he is too busy to peel his gums ju.t
